Form & Streaks

America de Cali is undefeated in their last 10 home matches across all competitions (6W, 4D)

Macara has kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 10 away matches across all competitions

America de Cali have failed to win their last two matches (1D, 1L), including a 1-1 draw against Tigre

Tactical Overview

This decider centers on whether America de Cali can break down a compact 4-4-2 block that has served Macara well in continental play. The hosts have been formidable at the Pascual Guerrero, remaining undefeated in their last 10 home matches across all competitions (6W, 4D) and recently defeating Millonarios 3-1. While their domestic form was dented by a 4-0 loss to Santa Fe, they have been more efficient in the Sudamericana, averaging a recent-form possession of 55%. Macara will rely on the central defensive partnership of José Luis Marrufo and Santiago Etchebarne to frustrate the hosts, as they did in their 0-0 draw against Alianza Atletico. The absence of Yeison Guzman (injury) for America de Cali removes their primary creative hub, likely forcing Rafael Carrascal and Josen Escobar to take more risks from deep to find Tomás Ángel.
